Columbus Brewing Ohio Honey Wheat

Brewed by Columbus Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Columbus, Ohio USA

Had the first pour of a new keg at little brothers. Well what can i say, i guess i tasted a little honey. It tasted like a honey pale lager. I didnt really taste that much else. Overall not that exciting.

8/31/06: Bottle.
Nose slightly of malt and honey. Body is orange with a white head which quickly diminishes. No lace. Light honey flavor. Finish is a touch bitter.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting on 8/16/06: Pours clear golden with a thin off-white head that is gone almost immediately. Minimal lacing. Light sweet honey aroma. Light-bodied with a grainy, off bitter flavor and very little honey. The finish is mildly bitter and short. Could be better.

I sampled a new 12 oz bottle compliments of my Beer of the Week buddy. Before I wrote this I swear to you that I sniffed this brew probably 10 different times in an effort to see if my "sniffer" was deceiving me. I even poured it into a different beer mug. My nose wasn’t wrong. The aroma is specific and distinct. It smells like dried cat urine on a sofa or other upolstery. No lie. Needless to say, I could barely get past that smell in order to finish the beer. For the record, I don’t own a cat. But as far as I’m concerned, cat piss is the worst smell on the planet! The ale poured pale golden with decent fiz. The white bubbly head disipated quickly. Decent lacing was noticible as I "did my duty" and finished the beer. Palate-wise, it was watery mouthfeel with slight carbonation. This watery ale left a slimy texture on my tongue and an aftertaste smell that reminded me of the last couple of stale squirts of beer that you’d milk out of a bud light keg before retuning it for your deposit. I’ll have to pass on this one guys.

Very nice amber looking beer but if you’re looking for a noce head, you’ll be rather disappointed. I was looking for that faint smell or flavor oh honey but it never sufaced. Surprising quite a good beer

12oz bottle pours golden with a fair white head that stays well and laces some. Aroma of honey, grains, light lemon, and a touch of yeast. Very similar flavors. Lots of yeast, honey, grain, and light grassy hops on the finish. Medium bodied and quite drinkable.

from 12oz bottle at tasting. pours golden yellow with some white head. starts off with a bit of honey sweetness, medium body with a distinct wheaty finish. well balanced.

Draft at brewpub. Clear amber with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Light hoppy aroma. Light to medium body with a dry texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of moderate duration. Nice soft starter brew.
